Great combo tour: elephanta + city tour - I have done the combo tour: elephanta caves and city tour and had a great experience with Balaji (guide) and Pranav (driver). Highly recommended. These tours are a must if you want to know more about Mumbai and surroundings and want to make the best of your time.

Amazing tour & tour company! - I felt safe with my driver! Rohit was a Great guide! He was informative and very knowledgeable! His English was good. He made the 1 hour boat trip each way very interesting. I had difficulty with my transport plans for the next day and they were helpful and even offered to bring me to the train station to get my ticket. Only complaint was that the guide at Elephanta (not with the tour company) went too fast up the 120 steps. I’m 62 yrs old & would have liked to go a little slower. But he was very informative and took great pictures. The best part, of course was the AMAZING sculptures! What a place! I would recommend this tour & with this tour company.
